"Andersonville Diary: Escape, and List of the Dead" by John L. Ransom is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the true experiences of Ransom, who served as a sergeant in the Union Army, detailing his harrowing experiences as a prisoner of war at Andersonville, one of the most notorious Confederate prisons during the American Civil War. This powerful narrative captures the grim realities faced by Union soldiers, focusing on themes of survival, camaraderie, and the indomitable human spirit amid extreme suffering. The opening of the book establishes Ransom's initial capture near Rogersville, Tennessee, when he is surrounded by Confederate forces during an ambush while serving as a quartermaster sergeant. As he details the chaotic scene of disorganized troops and the subsequent surrender, he begins to describe the torturous journey towards confinement in various prisons, including Belle Isle and finally Andersonville. Ransom's experiences are recounted with stark reflections on the conditions of captivity, the scarcity of food, and the cruelty of the guards, setting the stage for a heart-wrenching chronicle of his daily struggles and the efforts of fellow prisoners to maintain their dignity and hope amidst despair.
